Agents and contractors often don't get along. But there are times when an agency can help with your contracting. Has that ever happened to you?

Agencies do sometimes give good advice about how to handle a particular client, or perhaps simply with suggestions about how to behave in a certain interview.

Agencies are less keen nowadays--because of risks created by the managed service company legislation--to recommend an accountant or a lawyer to you. But some of them have evaluated the risk and aren't afraid to do so.

So has your agency helped you with a recommendation, or with some good advice? Tell us about it.
